No need... temps are good under water
Got lucky... just a retail box item... did get it from ocuk too

I think der8auer delidded the 9900K and it didn't reduce thermals all that much. But he seemed to get measurable reductions in temperatures by lapping the die itself to reduce the die thickness. I think it's probably going to be too extreme for most people to want to bother though.
Exactly...
It uncovered the solder job being pretty meh but not terrible but the issue being the die package is too thick. This is what OCUK are selling I think, with the 9900k it’s not as simple as a delid.
However you look at it what happened was intel finally stopped the crap paste but still managed to fail
It has solder yes, it’s not really improved it’s what you hoped would be an improvement on the cheap paste they used for previous generations. The issue being they soldered the die to IHS which is good but increased the die thickness which negates a lot of the benefit.
It’s in the vids I think but essentially I think it reduces the risk of failed chips, it’s actually more complex than you think to solder the IHS to the point it’s really quite interesting
What average temps are you hitting at 5.2 under load (not synthetic).I have mine on direct die so yes some of us crazy enough to
Prime95 no avx. It hits around 80c at around 200w power draw.
Around 70c in something like realbench which uses handbrake.
All 9900k do 5.0 mate. Lottery would be 5.3 or 5.4i9 9900k....
5ghz all cores - 68c @ 1.168v - stressed @ full load over 10mins
Never won lottery before - well pleased
Its not just about speed but how many volts you need to get there.
..by any stretch he has a very good 9900K to get 5Ghz at those kind of voltages, most need well over 1.3vlts to achieve it.
Anyone who gets a plum 9900K clocker now is doubly lucky because Intel is almost certainly binning and holding back the best ones for the upcoming 9900KS edition.
I would have thought differently with the better manufacturing process that comes with time I would have thought that the yields would have gone up and now is best time to buy a 9900k as with them doing the ks the yeields would just be better anyhow
